It was to be a
long trip back to where she had started, and the arduous journey only made her
hate for the living and the reanimated dead fester and grow more deeply. When
first rejected by the ungrateful humans, who she had helped to save, she blamed
the reanimates for the humans’ fear of her kind. She had once been a zombie, so
it was understandable the trepidation a half-dead could invoke in fearful
humans. As time passed at Fort Detrick the rejection began to embitter her.
When 1st Lt. Saunders decided it was time for the zombie menace to be
eliminated, Brooke had been assigned to lead one of the combat teams. At first
destroying reanimates was cathartic for her, and put purpose back into her
life. After all, she was a soldier and though she could no longer comprehend
all the intricacies of being a Systems Supervisor for the 114th Signal
Battalion, she still knew how to kill. However, after a month of zombie
eradication it had grown tiresome, and it had only temporarily distracted her
from her growing hate for humans. She decided that soldiering and cleansing the
countryside of the reanimated dead gave her no meaning in life. Brooke
discovered she was not the only one that felt this way. There was dissension
amongst her group and she wasn’t the only one that felt that the humans had
wronged her kind. Brooke was the first that wanted to leave, and Saunders knew
that keeping someone confined to Fort Detrick was almost like what Mound had
done to the survivors at Camp Hope. Saunders gave Brooke her freedom and
thanked her for her service. However, freedom had not given her the emotional
connection to her human past that she desired.
As the days
passed and her abhorrence and resentment grew for humans, she began to punish
the living, first by leading the reanimates to where they could be found and
watching the death struggle while reveling in the pain and suffering the living
experienced being ripped apart and devoured. It was entertaining and broke the
boredom in her travels. However, it was soon not enough and she began to take
her hate directly out on the living, butchering and devouring their flesh,
feeling pleased from the sensation of its texture and nourishment. Even eating
the living did not alleviate her ache for an unfulfilled life as a half-dead.
If she could never become fully human again, then perhaps she could at least
find a way to be more human.
